Hi team,
commit a802dd0eb5fc97a50cf1abb1f788a8f6cc5db635 Author: Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com> Date: Mon Oct 13 23:50:08 2008 +0200
Call init_workqueues before pre smp initcalls.
This commit causes the console login prompt to ignore my keystrokes so I'm unable to log in (though ssh works fine). Oddly, if I hit ctrl-alt-delete the machine does reboot, but no other keystrokes appear on the screen or have any effect that I can detect.
No surprise that this problem appears only on my dual-core amd64 machine, while the k7 single processor machine works normally.
I've not seen anyone else complaining on the linux list, so maybe this is a BIOS bug on the affected machine? It's an ECS mobo with a GeForce6100PM-M2 chipset, and I use a ps/2 keyboard.
Thanks.
